This is a list of Japanese words that appear in some FanFiction. I am
taking a guess that most people on line do not speak fluent
Japanese. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry, because I don't speak Japanese.
If you do, you really don't need to be here!

I hope those have been usefull to you, I know they could have been
useful to me, before I took Japanese!
If you have any other terms which you feel should be added to the list,
please e-mail me at blurose@angelfire.com
with both Japanese and English translation! My Japanese sucks, and I cannot
translate everything in the universe!
If you have any trouble reading this, please contact me. I'm testing new
background designs!
And many thanks to Ryo Toshimi for supplying the translations!
